E7Am Yo no le canto a la luna E7AmA7 porque alumbra y nada mas DmAm le canto porque ella sabe E7Am bis de mi largo caminar
Hay lunita tucumana tamborcito calchaqui compañera de los gauchos bis en las sendas de Tafí
(estribillo)
GC Perdido en las serrasones G7F7CA7 quien sabe vidita por donde andare DmAm mas cuando salga la luna E7AmA7 cantare cantare DmAm a mi tucuman querido E7Am cantare cantare cantare
II Si en algo nos paresemos luna de la soledad yo voy andando y cantando bis que es mi modo de alumbrar
Con ezperanza o con pena en los campos de acheral yo he visto a la luna buena bis besando el cañaberal
